1/11 Questions

What word is used to describe line segments that meet at a right angle?
- Parallel
- Perpendicular
- Skew
- Segments

About This Quiz

Name polygons according to their properties. Define terms for the properties of polygons.

2.

The name of an angle that is greater than 90 degrees.
- Obtuse
- Right
- Acute
- Straight
Correct Answer

A. Obtuse

Explanation

An angle that is greater than 90 degrees is called obtuse.

3.

A part of a line that has one end point but can continue on endless in the other direction
- Line
- Line segment
- Ray
- Perpendicular
Correct Answer

A. Ray

Explanation

A ray is a part of a line that starts at one endpoint and extends infinitely in the other direction. Unlike a line segment, which has two endpoints, a ray only has one endpoint. Therefore, a ray fits the description provided in the question.

Rate this question:
4.

When two lines cross or meet at a single point, the two lines _______________.
- Skew
- Parallel
- Touch
- Intersect
Correct Answer

A. Intersect

Explanation

When two lines cross or meet at a single point, it means that they intersect.

Rate this question:
5.

The name of any six-sided polygon.
- Quadrangle
- Octagon
- Pentagon
- Hexagon
Correct Answer

A. Hexagon

Explanation

A hexagon is a six-sided polygon, which means it has six sides. It is formed by connecting six straight line segments to create a closed shape. In this question, the task is to identify the name of a six-sided polygon, and the correct answer is "hexagon."

Rate this question:
6.

Two line segments, rays, or lines that are an equal distance apart at any given point; therefore, they will never touch.
- Parallel
- Perpendicular
- Skew
- Intersect
Correct Answer

A. Parallel

Explanation

Parallel lines are defined as lines that are an equal distance apart at any given point and will never touch. This means that they will always remain at a fixed distance from each other, never intersecting or crossing paths. Therefore, the given explanation accurately describes the concept of parallel lines.

7.

A portion of a line that has two endpoints
- Line segment
- Ray
- Line
- Angle
Correct Answer

A. Line segment

Explanation

A line segment is a portion of a line that has two endpoints. It is a straight path between two points and does not extend indefinitely in either direction. Unlike a ray, which has one endpoint and extends infinitely in one direction, a line segment has two distinct endpoints. A line, on the other hand, extends infinitely in both directions and does not have endpoints. An angle is formed by two rays with a common endpoint, but it is not a portion of a line.

8.

A quadrangle with 4 congruent sides
- Kite
- Trapezoid
- Rhombus
- Rectangle
- Option 1
- Option 2
- Option 3
- Option 4
Correct Answer(s)

A. Rhombus
A. Option 1

Explanation

A quadrangle with 4 congruent sides is called a rhombus. A rhombus is a special type of quadrilateral where all four sides are equal in length. This distinguishes it from other options like a kite, trapezoid, and rectangle, which do not have all four sides equal. Therefore, the correct answer is rhombus (Option 1).

Rate this question:
9.

The name given to any shape with 2 pairs of parallel sides.
- Parallelogram
- Quadrangle
- Square
- Kite
Correct Answer

A. Parallelogram

Explanation

A parallelogram is a shape that has two pairs of parallel sides. It is a quadrilateral, meaning it has four sides. The opposite sides of a parallelogram are equal in length and parallel to each other. This makes it different from a square, which is a special type of parallelogram with all sides equal in length and all angles equal to 90 degrees. A kite, on the other hand, does not have parallel sides, so it does not fit the given description. Therefore, the correct answer is parallelogram.

Rate this question:
10.

A quadrangle that has 4 right angles and 4 congruent sides
- Rhombus
- Rectangle
- Trapezoid
- Square
- Option 1
- Option 2
- Option 3
- Option 4
Correct Answer(s)

A. Square
A. Option 1

Explanation

A quadrangle that has 4 right angles and 4 congruent sides is a square. A square is a type of quadrilateral where all four angles are right angles and all four sides are equal in length. This makes it the correct answer in this case.

Rate this question:
11.

Polygons with 2 pairs of parallel sides.
- Rhombus
- Rectangle
- Trapezoid
- Square
Correct Answer(s)

A. Rhombus
A. Rectangle
A. Square

Explanation

The given answer includes the shapes that have 2 pairs of parallel sides. A rhombus has opposite sides that are parallel, a rectangle has opposite sides that are parallel and equal in length, and a square has all sides that are parallel and equal in length. These shapes fit the description of having 2 pairs of parallel sides.
